Answer:

Their form of writing was called Mayan hieroglyphic writing and Mayan hieroglyphic writing, a system of writing used by the Maya people of Mesoamerica until about the end of the 17th century, 200 years after the Spanish conquest of Mexico.

The Maya wrote using 800 individual signs or glyphs, paired in columns that read together from left to right and top to bottom. Maya cartouches included at least three or four glyphs and as many as fifty. Each cartouche contained various glyphs, as well as prefixes and suffixes. There is no Maya alphabet.

A couple of ways it is different from our writing systems because 1) they didn't have an alphabet, 2) they used symbols and signs instead of letters, and they read their signs left to right and bottom to top

Which statements describe characteristics of complex villages? Choose three answers.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Complex villages stored food in buildings.

Explanation:

The complex villages were well connected and functioned as towns (though smaller), so being linked with the surrounding area and beyond led to risks of diseases.

The complex villages had permanent buildings, so this statement is not correct.

Complex villages had people specialized in certain fields, thus they had artisans with special skills.

Complex villages worked in a hierarchical manner, so this statement is not correct.

Having a relatively large population in small area meant that larger amounts of food are needed, which is why the food was stored in buildings in the complex villages.

Explain Gies’ motivation for helping Jewish families during the war.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

According to Gies, the motivation was simply the fact that she wanted to help and she would have felt regret, if she let innocent people die.

Explanation:

Till the end of her life, Gies, never considered herself a hero. She explained that it was human nature to help someone and clearly stated, that by calling her actions 'brave' or 'heroic' would put on her on a pedestal, and demotivate other people to act out kindly when needed.

Gies was Dutch and had worked with Jewish people before. She felt empathy and always thought her actions were natural, human and not at all special.
